Eden In Ruin

Come, distortured heartless beasts that roam the sepulchre

My starving razor severs the leash to let loose my pack upon the flock of god

For centuries we've searched the Earth

Within full moons and forest hiding towards rebirth

And again we re-open Pandora's box

And flank the bastard christ with mutiny and revolt

That wickedness and sin-flushed evil may reign in hell once more

Then rising against oppression we tore away to silhouette the suns of dawn

However 'midst a whirl of politics and warfare my illustrious bride was taken

From the sanctuary of shadowy midnight, forest moor the Demon Lord wasmistaken

And he cursed aloud breaking the silence, a code our legions swear to

I ventured aloof, searching for proof and found Her twisted broken shoe

Following the beaten track he rode the high and wintry night

For king and kindred sin, to avenge and exacerbate their plight

High on the tails he drew a long sword

And with a flash of burnished lightning reinstated the casualties of war

"The clanging of steel it rapes mine ears

Behold the dying courts men writing at my feet

Their outstretched hands cling to a lifeless despair

A rancid stench of defiled rotting flesh infuses the air"

The winds begin to rent their wintry spite

The skies are darkened behind a pall of ageless storm clouds

Weaker fauna scurry away to take shelter

And the battle fields are veiled in a thunderous icy shroud

Desperation plagues me

Translucent memories of grander pastimes

Wherein Tyranny would grace

With ardent passions and sinful signs

Alas, Eden lies in ruin

In silence and desolation

Abandoned by god to a strategic position

Sodom cried for nights retreat

Death arose sanctity, latent regrets unthought

Drowning silk sheets in crimson death

For the morrow's insights forget

She walked in the shadow of the rose

Played out Her will for every delight

"I am the dusk bringing my spite to all thy needs and all thou shalt see"

Cast into temptation scorn an angel not content

Further drawn to an ever tempering dawn

Magnificence in Her grace, nobility faced

Yet pains condemn Her passions constrained

Tyranny bring thy dusk embracing night

Fall into temptation with grace
